Built-in Durability & Performance

Body-on-frame design: the MV-1 body mounts to a full frame to create a rigid structure that supports the drivetrain

The frame is coated with a rust inhibitor to
increase longevity of the vehicle

Have the option to Go Green

Opt for a unique Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuel system for much lower fuel cost and an estimated 290 mile range, including a 40-mile low level indicator

Since our unique CNG system is factory-engineered and installed, you can count on the same durability and reliability that you demand of gasoline-powered vehicles

Cleaner-buring CNG produces 15% of the enissions created by comparable gasoline-powered vehicles and reduces dependence on foreign oil

Three Type-3 CNG tanks are integrated seamlessly into the vehicle design and factory-installed to meet all federal safety standards

With CNG, you can save 40% to 60% in fuel cost, without compromising range, performance, interior comfort, or cargo space
